Unnecessary Extras, a locally-owned boutique in Rochester, is proud to announce its selection of eco-friendly products aimed at making sustainable living easier and more accessible. Featured items include reusable "paper" towels, cloth diapers, cloth menstrual pads and cloth nursing pads, providing practical and environmentally conscious alternatives to disposables.
In a time when Americans generate more than 20 billion disposable diapers, 50 billion tampons and pads, 20 billion paper towels and countless other single-use items annually, Unnecessary Extras is stepping up to help reduce waste and promote greener choices. Each product is designed with durability, comfort and affordability in mind, allowing customers to save money while protecting the planet.
Why Cloth?
